The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Description
Mission — NC3 Enterprise Center
Secretary of Defense tasked USSTRATCOM Nuclear Command, Control and Communications (NC3) Enterprise Center (NEC) to oversee and monitor operations and security of the enterprise, develop tools to assist in monitoring the readiness of the NC3 architecture, and capture the operational risks as adversaries develop the ability to disrupt our capabilities from multiple threat vectors. This effort will fund enterprise operations, requirements, systems engineering and assessment activities. The NEC will capture and integrate process and system data to assess operational risk, characterize multi-domain threats, and explore operational trade space associated with next generation NC3 architectures. The NEC will work with the Services to explore new technologies and develop innovative solutions in a virtual environment, and capture metrics that identify system problems and readiness issues before they impact operations. The NEC will also develop digital engineering capabilities to support governance responsibilities of NC3. The USSTRATCOM Strategic Mission Research and Development is an effort to tackle the hard Scientific and Technological (S&T) problems USSTRATCOM and DoD face in today's environment. Leveraging built-in tools and DoD/DHS data to anticipate and quickly analyze and assess national, strategic, and operational impacts/risks associated with the loss or disruption of critical systems, assets and infrastructure to help with USSTRATCOM Unified Command Plan (UCP) assigned mission sets. Current information together with logical links-nodes dependency views directly support mitigation COA development. This USSTRATCOM S&T initiative includes the three earliest stages of Department of Defense (DoD) RDT&E, including basic research, applied research, and advanced technology development. The FY 2026 request was reduced by [5.408] million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative.” This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY 2024 00.725M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2025 00.000M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 6, RDT&E Management Support because this budget activity includes research, development, test and evaluation efforts and funds to sustain and/or modernize the installations or operations required for general research, development, test and evaluation.

Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Command, Control, Communication, and Computers (C4) - STRATCOM. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
